Out with the old

[bs19gal 57]

Just coming up to 2 months post op and pretty much giving away my entire closet. Leaving for a two week beach/golf vacation tomorrow and had to buy all new.

So great to shop in regular sizes knowing I'll never have to hunt down the plus size department again. I love clothes loving redressing myself :-)

Took my first flights last week, seat belts fitted, tray table came all the way down with a gap and didn't have to sit hanging out into the aisle getting bashed by passers by I actually felt I fitted.

Life is good and starting to get the hang of the eating. Only thing is weird is I have seen a bunch of folks recently that last saw me 50lbs heavier wearing 3x I'm now in L/xl and size 16 instead of woman's 20 and no one said a word !!! Do they really only just see a fat person and no reference to the relative sizes just fat. It's weird I'm good with it because I feel great and love my new clothes, I'm overflowing with confidence it's just strange :-)

I have friends who will not comment on weight fluctuations either way because they believe it's rude and invasive. They're sociologists. I found that interesting.

Oh and congrats on tossing out those clothes! Bet that felt great.

Congrats!!

After an almost 50lb loss, I feel great! But I don't think people can really tell until you get down to size 14 or smaller. For me, that'll be another 60+ lbs.

I feel like Batman, hiding in plain sight. One day people will just SEE the loss... probably after I buy a new fancy set of *skinny* duds.
